I went in to the authorised repairer, mentioned the wheels, was told he did remember something about it, and would look in to it, 2 weeks later i got a call saying i had 4 new hard wheels waiting for me, they never looked at the wheels once, went in to get them changed, the old ones had all been powder coated, 2 were welded, and 1 had a new crack in it, they didnt care they said they are usually told to just skip them anyway!!!!

Avus1 did you have soft wheels when you had them swapped for hard?
I think Audi UK just want to get every RS4 onto hard wheels and be done with it.

Hmmm well 10 year old cars barely register in these plate glass showrooms but the warranty manager is employed to deal with this and all he need do is contact Audi UK to verify the current status, especially if you bought it from an Audi Centre.

Watch the video in the downloads section "Customer Day"
It explains it all and even states that courtesy cars are part of the deal.

i went to camberly audi they were very helpful but all wheels are curbed. i could spend £200 on getting them refurbed then try and make a claim or just buy a set of someone i know for £400 .
